Nuclear Materials & Energy is the first full open access journal in the field of materials for fusion and fission applications. Both the overall call for open access publications by several funding bodies, and the trend towards electronic publishing, motivated this change in publication policy. In addition to full open access (immediately and unlimited, permanently free of charge, according to the CC-BY license)

the following advantages over the hitherto existing proceedings are achieved:

increased page limit of 6 pages for contributed papers and 12 pages for a limited number of invited/plenary articles, providing space for all details and scientific discussions

no “S” page numbers or other earmarks to the articles, indicating supplementary (proceedings) issues

no splitting of the ICFRM proceedings into two journals, one journal for the proceedings only

fast publication: articles will be online available shortly after acceptance by the guest editors

The same rigorous refereeing as usual applies also to these proceedings: All papers are reviewed by at least two referees. Only original work not previously published is accepted.

The ICFRM-17 editorial board strictly aims at finalizing the proceedings one year after the conference. As a consequence, all authors contributing to the ICFRM-17 proceedings are expected to serve as reviewers during the evaluation process.

PLEASE NOTE:
The conference fee includes one manuscript submission per each registered participant. For any additional manuscript submitted as part of an additional conference contribution an extra fee of 450 EUR will be charged. After submission we will issue a separate invoice, clearly stating the amount as publication costs.
